Everyone I meet tells me they are coming to your party Denis, people I didn't even know you knew,gonna be huge. My great air conditioner didn't even work, it sat too high for the pop top window with the rack,actually would have been perfect without the front rack I just had to have, we didn't need it though it was cool every night so we are going to take it back and find one about 4 inches shorter, we hope. ----- Original Message ----- From: Denis Dodson To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, June 17, 2005 10:57 AM Subject: [tcb] Time to get serious I am going to start sending mail and stuff to all the VW people in the world about coming to my house the Friday before Eureka Springs. My helper here, Travis, who some of you met, has been giving me a hard time because I had such big plan for 10 busses and only 3 showed up. Personally I had a great time, but now I am planning some extra power drops with lots of outlets for AC and water and a couple of porta potties in addition to the house and trailer toilets and I am putting in an outdoor hot water shower, so that we will have 3. And then there is the food. My brother-in-law, Chuck, makes a killer brisket and he says that 2 will feed 30 people, or 10 of us. I don't guess I shouldn't get all excited about the stupid pig idea unless I expect an army. And then there are the explosives. Dan would have me buy $1000 worth even if he were alone, but right now the budget is about $400, $100 more than in May, but if only 5 people are coming, I'll just get Dan some firecrackers and smoke bombs. Maybe some sparklers. So, anyway, let's all think about who and how many could we plan on. Count yourself and any contacts you might have. With all the folks who come to the ES show anyway we could have a pretty good crowd here. Maybe we should put it out there as a TCB event.
